Background
Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) is an ambassador for traditional Swiss hospitality and has been a pioneer in hospitality education since 1893. It has created and inspired a unique professional community of over 25,000 hospitality managers, united by the values and the legacy of EHL.
EHL trusted us to manage and optimize its digital marketing campaign in Korea, which included Naver text ads, Naver content ads, and its Naver blog.
Challenges + Goals
Korea is well known as a country with exceptionally intense competition in the education market. Given this fierce competition, EHL experienced difficulties increasing brand awareness through its existing Naver blog.
EHL approached us with a goal to increase brand awareness and enquiries particularly for its bachelor degree program.
Our key challenge was allocating ad spend effectively to increase quality traffic and enquiries under a limited budget and notoriously tight competition.
Strategy + Execution
In phase 1, we ran Naver text ads, Naver content ads, and content marketing campaigns for the Naver blog. Through this brand awareness campaign in the Korean market, we increased traffic to EHL’s Naver blog by 260%.
In phase 2, we decided to use just Naver text ads to increase the number of enquiries by decreasing the number of conversion funnels. This move increased the conversion rate significantly despite a decreased ad budget compared to phase 1.
Over the course of the project, we’re proud to have brought +513% overall website traffic, +260% unique visitors to the Naver blog, +200% enquiries, and an ad quality score of 5/7 (the average Naver ad quality score is 3/7).
Different ad strategies were devised and applied for different phases and campaign objectives. This included highly targeted keyword research and localized ad copy unique to the Korean market to increase traffic and enquiries for EHL.
